duluthdan Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 VOS finish, relic tuners, beyond that - I dunno - certainly hope you're not about to go Aaron Lewis on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merseybeat1963 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Juan I don't think its worth the extra money nor do I think it will be any more valuable in the future. I have one of those Cunetto relic Mary Kay Stratocasters..I bought it cause it really had something special about it and we paid a good amount for it before I ever heard of the name Cunetto. There might be something to some electric relics but I wouldnt want a beat in acoustic that wasnt actually played in. Concerning investment..though the Strat is supposedly beat in & Relic ed.. I bought that fine Italian Leather Dimarzio strap which bled black on to the white body & I dug out an access to truss rod adj screw which is at base of the neck.. Dispite it being a killer guitar..Im sure some air head will balk at its "unoriginality" and lack of "case candy". Pathetic..from a smoke free climate controled home..only used on the 14th day of the 12th month of the 12th year for 2 hours 12minutes & 15 seconds...and only used with a respirator & purified clothing. Yeech! : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Electric players have a fetish for beat Strats (ala SRV , EC and Rory G), stained Tele and such like. There is no flattop equivalent, at least to my knowledge. The Aaron Lewis treatment is a minority opinion. Many buyers do not even care for 'antiqued yellow' or VOS tops. Relic-ing a clean store model would be the path to rapid depreciation. This is a marketplace where buyers flee at the slightest hint of glue run-out, let alone a scratch, ding or standard play wear. Unless, of, course, you offer hundreds off. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd be doing it for yourself, it's a personal choice. If you're considering resale, Rambler is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
